Scientists have been using complicated, hypothetical particles to explain the Big Bang, but this theory posits that a simpler ...
A new theory promises to simplify our approach to the universe's earliest moments, but some cosmologists say further mathematical scrutiny is warranted. reading time 5 minutes Following the Big Bang, ...
A team of scientists proposes a new model of cosmic inflation that reveals how gravity and quantum mechanics may be sufficient to explain how the structure of the cosmos came into being. A team of ...
Last year’s reports that the BICEP2 telescope had uncovered evidence for cosmic inflation turned out to be a false alarm, but researchers in the field haven’t given up. Matthew R Francis describes how ...
Asking what existed before the Big Bang is often dismissed as meaningless, since traditional physics breaks down when pushed that far back in time. Yet a new paper published in Living Reviews in ...
